Any other suggestions?

The very first transaction.  Satoshi to Hal Finney:
 - 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3

I tried to find the transaction for Laszlo's 10K Pizza but I didn't see one and no blockchain transfers more than a couple thousand around those days:

The Bitcoin Wiki is lacking in address coverage, so I decided to start writing some pages on notable addresses in Bitcoin history. It's a niche interest, I know, but pages written here also serve an educational purpose: just how anonymous is Bitcoin? I've started the project by writing two articles, found in this category. If you are an address enthusiast, please help out by expanding coverage of addresses and writing new pages on addresses. Connecting addresses to a specific entity is encouraged, to better educate people about proper anonymity techniques. Just make sure the analysis is rational!

I guess having a topic in Project Development would be useful, because Bitcoin.it doesn't have a concept of WikiProjects. This thread should serve as a discussion hub for addresses that should be covered or other related activities. I'll start the discussion by asking for suggestions on a notability guideline: what type of addresses should be covered?

I'm of the opinion that if an address meets any of this criteria, it should be eligible.

  • Address firsts: e.g. 342ftSRCvFHfCeFFBuz4xwbeqnDw6BGUey (the first P2SH address)
  • High-volume addresses: e.g. 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM
  • Addresses linked to a notable company: e.g. 1dice1e6pdhLzzWQq7yMidf6j8eAg7pkY
  • Addresses linked to history: e.g. 1KPTdMb6p7H3YCwsyFqrEmKGmsHqe1Q3jg (destination of the Allinvain theft)

Any other suggestions?
